The Muslim Council of Elders has strongly condemned the burning of a copy of the Holy Quran by extremists in Denmark.

Under the Chairmanship of the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, Dr Ahmed Al-Tayyeb, the Muslim Council of Elders expressed its utmost condemnation of the heinous and despicable burning of the Holy Quran by an extremist group in Denmark, said the council in a statement on its website on Monday, relayed by MENA.

The Council unequivocally rejects such heinous acts that aim to provoke Muslims around the world while also emphasising that the recurrence of such racist actions reflects a vile extremism, blind fanaticism, and abhorrent hatred, that contradict basic human principles and norms, these abhorrent acts only serve to undermine global efforts to promote peace and coexistence, the statement read.

The Council calls for the implementation of definitive measures and legislations to stop such vile practices to criminalize attacks against religions and religious sanctities. These repeated despicable actions, the Council stresses, cannot be justified under the guise of freedom of speech or expression.

The Muslim Council of Elders is an independent international organization that was established in Ramadan 21, 1435 Hijri (July 18, 2014) to promote peace In the Muslim communities. The Council unites Muslim scholars, experts and dignitaries who are known for their wisdom, sense of justice, independence and moderateness. They will work together to promote peace, to discourage infighting and to address the sources of conflict, divisiveness and fragmentation in Muslim communities.

Based in the UAE’s capital, Abu Dhabi, the Council is the first institutional body that aims to bring the Islamic nation together by extinguishing the fire that threatens Islam’s humanitarian values and principles of tolerance, and putting an end to the sectarianism and violence that have plagued the Muslim world for decades.
